Every May is the season when tung blossoms bloom and scatter, with their snow-like petals gently falling. Strolling along the romantic tung blossom avenues is both enchanting and healing. Throughout Taiwan, you can admire the beautiful sight of tung blossoms covering the mountains, especially in the Hakka villages around Miaoli, where April and May turn into a “snowfall” of blossoms—creating some of the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan.

Hidden within a mountain town lies the “Sky Castle,” where you can enjoy a fairytale-like castle atmosphere and a prince-and-princess experience.

Sit back, savor thoughtfully prepared meals, and quietly gaze over the Jurassic-like mystery of Liyu Pond and the ever-changing mountain skies of Miaoli.
